There’s a show at Steve’s shop today. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to make it but my buddy Scott sent me some “spy shots” of my car.

Steve’s making more progress. Here are a few pics he sent while constructing the dash speaker setup.
I’m at a loss for words. I think saying this is looking like it could be OEM may even be an understatement.

I am SO excited about this.

Some more updates...
Looks like the trunk is closer to completion. Still need to build the raised floor and sub box. But it’s looking awesome to me. The extra battery was Steve’s suggestion but I thought it would be nice so was on board.
The minidsp controller mount was a nice surprise. I told Steve when I dropped the car off to just put it in the glovebox and that would be fine. I also asked if he could find a way to integrate a little mini voltage display I bought years ago. So when he sent the pic of both of them mounted to the console piece I was pleasantly surprised.
And the sails are coming along nicely.

Stopped by the shop to check the progress today. Goodness. Words don’t do this install justice. It looks so good. The goal here was an OEM look. It certainly has that in spades.
Sails are done. Just need to put some screws in them.
More trunk pics because I love the look of these amps.
And spare battery...

Dash work...
While I was there Steve had started on the grille covers for the mids. Steve designed them on Vcarve Pro and cut them on the CNC.

Then he began painting and sanding. Not completely done yet, but thus gives you the idea. A few more rounds of sanding and painting and they’ll look as if Honda made it this way.

And here’s some shots of what the underside looks like with the enclosures. Lots of stuff had to be moved from here to make room.
And in case anyone is wondering, there’s no concern with the midrange reflecting off the grille and causing issues. The distance from the cone to the underside of the grille is about 0.80 inches. That’s about 8.5khz in half-wave calcs. Which is at least twice as high as my intended crossover point.
Almost forgot, everything is playing now. Still no sub and no windshield so no tuning. But it was nice to power it up and hear everything working. And nice to see the headunit in its new home.
